How do I integrate the redirect to okta login flow with capacitor without leaving the mobileapp?

Questions

I have a working website that uses okta’s redirect login flow, ie the user gets redirected to an okta login page and then back to the web app. I’m trying to convert the website into a mobile app using capacitor, a main challenge is that when logging in or out the redirect opens a browser window to function. This kind of ruins the in-app experience because different devices could have different default browsers that act differently, sometimes asking which app to use. Capacitor has an in-app browser that can be used and might solve this issue, but I’m not sure how to configure Okta to let me call the redirects using the in-app browser.

How can I integrate the okta redirect login flow with capacitor’s in-app browser?

Hello Mark,

Thank you for reaching out here on the Okta Developer Forum. Based on advice from one of the forums in the Ionic Framework community, it is recommended to utilize the Capacitor In-App-Browser to open the Sign-In Page within your application.

You can find more information about this approach in the following resources:

  1. Forum Post - Okta authentication with Capacitor mobile app - Capacitor - Ionic Forum
  2. Capacitor In-App Browser Documentation - Browser Capacitor Plugin API | Capacitor Documentation

Please be aware that this solution has not been tested on our end. I recommend discussing it further with the Ionic community, as they may provide additional insights or alternative solutions to the issue you are facing.

Feel free to let me know if you are facing any issues related to Okta or if you need any help with anything else.
